Thanks for the encouraging words Vero; and glad your S is adjusting well.
This morning I gave her a cup of coffee while she was getting ready for work; and attempted to validate her feelings regarding her choice to separate and everyone saying "she's wrong and ruining lives." I at least wanted her to know that as an insider of this situation (one directly involved), I have an idea of what she's going through and to not succumb to the pressure of everyone else.
